Before You Brew
CAUTION: While brewing, there is extremely hot water in the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid injury, do not lift the handle during the brewing process. Do not brew into glass.
NOTE: For best results, we recommend one-time use with our K-Cup® pods. A twice-brewed pod won’t provide full flavor, and if the pod holder isn’t lined up with the original
holes, it can cause an overflow of water and coffee grounds.

Caring For Your Brewer
Regular cleaning keeps your brewer running smoothly. Always be sure to turn off and unplug your brewer before cleaning.
The water reservoir should be
cleaned periodically by wiping the
inside of the reservoir and underside
of the lid with a damp, nonabrasive,
lint-free cloth. Do not dry the inside
of the water reservoir with a cloth, as
lint may remain. Allow the reservoir
to dry completely. Hand-wash only.
Brewer Exterior
Keep your Keurig® brewer looking its
best by cleaning the exterior from
time to time. Just clean with a damp,
soapy, lint-free, nonabrasive cloth.
Never immerse the brewer in water or
other liquids.
Drip Tray
The drip tray overflow should be emptied and
cleaned occasionally. To remove, lift up off
brewer base, keeping it level to avoid spilling.
Rinse and clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free,
nonabrasive cloth. Hand-wash only.

Brewer Features
FAST & FRESH-BREWED: Coffee made in minutes.
BREW OVER ICE: Brew a refreshing iced coffee in minutes.
The BREW OVER ICE feature automatically adjusts brew
temperature — starting hotter to help extract full flavor, then
cooling down for less ice melt.
BACK-TO-BACK BREWING: Immediately brew a second cup;
no need to wait for reheating.
TRAVEL-MUG FRIENDLY: Accommodates travel mugs up
to 7” tall.
SIMPLE BUTTON CONTROLS: Just insert any K-Cup® pod
and use the button controls to brew a delicious cup.
MAINTENANCE ALERT: Reminds you to descale after every
250 brews.
COMPATIBLE WITH THE MY K-CUP® UNIVERSAL REUSABLE
COFFEE FILTER:
Brew your own ground coffee (sold separately).
AUTO OFF: Automatically turns your brewer off 5 minutes
after the last brew for energy savings, but will be ready to
brew as soon as it is powered on again.
HIGH ALTITUDE: To ensure your brewer works properly at
higher altitudes (5,000 feet), please enable the High Altitude
Brewing Mode on your brewer.
1. Begin with the brewer plugged in and powered off.
2. Press and hold the POWER button and 10oz button for 3
seconds. The 12oz button will illuminate to confirm that the
High Altitude Brewing Mode has been enabled.
3. High Altitude Mode will remain enabled until steps 1-2
are repeated and the 12oz light turns off and the 8oz light
turns on to confirm that the High Altitude Brewing Mode is
disabled.
HIGH ALTITUDE BREWING: While holding the brewer handle
up, push down slowly on the K-Cup® pod in the pod holder
until the bottom of the K-Cup® pod is punctured by the exit
needle.
K-Cup® Pod Holder
To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from
the brewer, lift the handle and grasp
the top of the K-Cup® pod holder
with one hand while pushing up on
the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder
from underneath with the other until
it releases. After cleaning, align the
K-Cup® pod holder with the opening,
using the two front ribs as a guide,
and snap into place from the top.
Funnel 
Washing the funnel ensures a fresh
beverage experience. The funnel
should be washed regularly and can
be removed from the K-Cup® pod
holder by pulling on it until it pops off.
To replace it, orient the snaps to the
indent and just snap it back onto the
K-Cup® pod holder.
Exit Needle
Remove the pod holder assembly
and detach the funnel. Locate the
exit needle on the inside bottom
of the K-Cup® pod holder. Insert a
straightened paper clip into the exit
needle to loosen any coffee grounds.
CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pod above the K-Cup® pod holder and in the
bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® pod holder.
NOTE: Always remove and dispose of the used K-Cup® pod after brewing.
Entrance Needle
Lift the brewer handle and locate
the entrance needle on the
underside of the lid. To clean the
holes in the needle, hold the brewer
handle in the upward position and
with your other hand, carefully insert
a straightened paper clip into all
the holes. Gently move it around to
loosen any coffee grounds. Lower
the handle completely and run a
cleansing brew two times. Do not
insert a K-Cup® pod.
Regular Maintenance
For great-tasting coffee, keep your brewer running at peak performance by following the recommended
maintenance schedule:
Frequency Product Benefit
Weekly Keurig® Rinse Pods Weekly cleaning with Keurig® Rinse Pods helps
reduce flavor carryover between brews
Every 2 months Keurig® Water Filters Keep your water fresh and help remove impurities
Every 3 months or when
the Descale notification
turns on*
Keurig® Descaling Solution Eliminate mineral buildup to preserve the long-
term health of your brewer
*To turn off Descale notification, follow the full descaling procedure as outlined in this guide.
If the brewer has been in storage or hasn’t been used in days, run a cleansing brew before brewing
your beverage.
Periodically hand-wash the water reservoir and lid and drip tray with warm, soapy water and rinse clean.
CAUTION: Parts are not dishwasher safe.
NOTE: Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
Grounds in Your Coffee
Grounds may have gathered in the exit or entrance needles
and can be cleaned using a straightened paper clip or
similar tool.
Clean the exit needle of the K-Cup® pod holder. Refer to the
exit needle care instructions.
Clean the brewer entrance needle. Refer to the entrance
needle care instructions.
For optimal enjoyment and to limit grounds in your cup
during hot water brews or when transitioning from brewing a
coffee pod to a non-coffee pod (e.g., tea or cocoa), clean the
exit and entrance needles per the instructions provided and
perform two cleansing brews.
Brewer Will Not Brew
The water level must be at the minimum line to brew. Add
an additional 2oz of water to the reservoir to ensure the
minimum fill level has been met, then press the brew size
button. Repeat until the brewer begins to dispense.
Lift up and replace the reservoir to ensure a secure fit on
the base.
Brewing a Partial Cup
BREW OVER ICE dispense volume includes ice melt.
The BREW OVER ICE setting automatically adjusts brew
parameters to take into account ice melt, delivering the
desired beverage with a final volume equal to the selected
brew size.
Unplug the brewer and plug it back in to put the brewer in
idle state (all lights off). Press and hold the 10oz button for
5 seconds until water starts dispensing. Then release and
let the water purge. Discard the contents into the sink.
The exit needle may be clogged. Refer to the exit needle
care instructions.
Clean the K-Cup® pod holder; see K-Cup® pod holder care
instructions.
The brewer may need to be descaled. If you have repeated
the descale procedure on your brewer two times and it is
still only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service.
Brewer Does Not Have Power or Shuts Off
Brewer does not have a power button. To turn the brewer
on, press any button or open the handle. The brewer
automatically turns off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Plug brewer into its own outlet. If the electric circuit is
overloaded with other appliances, your brewer may not
function properly. The brewer should be operated on its
own circuit, separate from other appliances.
If the brewer still doesn’t have power, contact
Customer Service.
Troubleshooting
Note: The full descaling procedure must be completed to turn
off the Descale light.
You will need: a large ceramic mug (10oz minimum), fresh
water, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink.
Do not use a paper cup. Ensure that there is no beverage
pod in the K-Cup® pod holder. The descaling procedure takes
approximately 20 minutes.
STEP 1: Prepare the Brewer
Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descaling Solution into an
empty water reservoir.
Then fill the empty bottle with water and pour into the
water reservoir.
Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.
Place a large mug on the drip tray.
STEP 2: Descale the Brewer
To activate Descale Mode, begin with the brewer plugged in
and powered off, then press and hold the 6oz and 10oz buttons
together for 3 seconds.
When flashing, press the 8oz button to start the descaling
process.
Once the brew is complete, pour the hot liquid into the sink.
Continue to brew 8oz until the ADD WATER light illuminates.
STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse
Empty the water reservoir and refill to the MAX FILL line
with fresh water.
When flashing, press the 8oz button to start the
rinsing process.
Once the brew is complete, pour the hot liquid into the sink.
Continue to brew 8oz until the DESCALE notification turns off.
The brewer has now exited Descale Mode and will be ready
for use!
NOTE: The cleaning action of Keurig® Descaling Solution may result in a “foam” dispensed
from the brewer. This is natural, as the solution is reacting with the scale inside. For a brewer
that is heavily scaled, the brewer may not fill properly after the descaler is added. If this
occurs, you may see little to no output dispensed, followed by the sound of air blowing out. If
this occurs:
Turn off and unplug the brewer.
If there is Keurig® Descaling Solution in the water reservoir, discard the contents, rinse
the water reservoir thoroughly, and refill with water.
Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle.
The brewer should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale
is removed. If problem persists, allow brewer to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes
before continuing with the rinse.
Descaling Procedure
Helpful Hints
Water quality varies greatly. If you notice an undesirable
taste in your beverage (such as chlorine or mineral tastes),
we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Do not use
distilled water.
Service
Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance
procedures, this brewer is not user serviceable. For service,
please refer to the Warranty section of this guide.
Storage
Empty the water reservoir before storing or transporting
and take care to ensure that you store your brewer in a
safe and frost-free environment. When you prepare to use
it after storage, we recommend rinsing the water reservoir
with fresh water and descaling the brewer as detailed in the
Descaling Procedure section.
If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn
the brewer off, unplug it, and empty the water reservoir.
If your brewer has been in an environment below freezing,
please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for at
least 2 hours before using.
LIMITED ONE-YEAR WARRANTY
Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (Keurig) warrants that your brewer will
be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal home
use for one year from the date of purchase. It is recommended
that you register your brewer on keurig.com/new so that your
purchase information will be stored in our system. Keurig will, at its
option, repair or replace a defective brewer without charge upon its
receipt of proof of the date of purchase. If a replacement brewer is
necessary to service this warranty, the replacement brewer may be
new or reconditioned. If a replacement brewer is sent, a new limited
one-year warranty will be applied to the replacement brewer.
This warranty only applies to brewers operated in the United States
and Canada. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights that vary from state to state and, in the
case of Canada, from province to province.
Only the use of Keurig® K-Cup® brand pods and accessories will
guarantee the proper functioning and lifetime of your Keurig®
brewer. Any damage to or malfunction of your brewer resulting
from the use of non-Keurig® pods and accessories may not be
covered by this warranty or may result in a service fee if the damage
or malfunction is determined to be caused by such use.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY?
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SUCH AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND
DOES NOT COVER INCIDENTAL COSTS AND EXPENSES
RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, EVEN IF
FORESEEABLE. Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you depending on the state
or province of purchase.
Nor does this warranty cover damages caused by use of non-Keurig®
pods or accessories, services performed by anyone other than
Keurig or its authorized service providers, use of parts other than
genuine Keurig® parts, or external causes such as abuse, misuse,
inappropriate power supply, or acts of God.
OTHER LIMITATIONS
THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY
OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL.
IN ADDITION, KEURIG HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO YOUR
KEURIG® BREWER, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. Some states or provinces do not allow disclaimers
of such implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you
depending on the state or the province of purchase.
HOW DO YOU OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?
Keurig® brewers are high-quality appliances and, with proper care,
are intended to provide years of satisfying performance. However,
should the need arise for warranty servicing, simply call Keurig
Customer Service at our toll-free phone number, 1-866-901-BREW
